Casa Canto del Mar

Casa Canto del Mar sits directly on the shoreline of El Encanto de la Laguna, a gated community in San José del Cabo, with the Sea of Cortez in front of every main room. Brick-vaulted ceilings, natural stone and warm wood give it the look of an old Baja house; the glass walls and the smart-home controls are from this decade.

Seven bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, sleep up to 14 guests, which puts it among the larger beachfront houses in our Los Cabos villas. We’d suggest it to two or three families travelling together, or to a group that wants one long table (twelve chairs in the dining room) and a beach they can walk onto barefoot. Published rates cover the holidays so far: USD 7,500 a night for Thanksgiving week 2026, USD 8,500 at Christmas and USD 10,000 over New Year. For any other week, write to us and we’ll quote your dates.

THE HOUSE

Living room, dining area and kitchen all open straight onto the oceanfront terrace, so the view follows you from the sofa to the stove. In the kitchen you’ll find professional appliances. There’s a dedicated office for anyone who has to take a call (it happens), high-speed Wi-Fi, central air conditioning, and Sonos audio zoned through the rooms and out to the terrace. A gym with exercise equipment is part of the house. So are a washer and dryer.

THE POOLS

Three, not one. Facing the sea is the heated infinity pool, with a spa adjoining it, and a separate private lap pool is there for whoever swims before breakfast. Six deck loungers stand along the edge, and covered lounge areas give shade at midday, when you’ll want it.

THE SUITES

In the primary suite: a king bed, an ocean view, access to a private terrace, a dressing room, and a bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub and a separate shower. Each of the other six suites has a queen bed and a shower bathroom. Every bedroom has a TV and blackout curtains. Seven couples fit without anyone drawing the short straw on a bathroom, though six of them will sleep in queens, not kings.

THE OUTDOORS

Meals move outside easily here, between an outdoor kitchen, a professional barbecue, a gas grill and a dining terrace. After dark the fire pit takes over, with the waves just beyond the terrace. And two stand-up paddleboards come with the house.

THE SERVICE

A concierge is included. Chefs, a Mexican cook, butler service, pre-stocking, private transport, spa treatments and babysitting are arranged on request and quoted separately. Ask us about the housekeeping schedule for your dates when you enquire.

THE LOCATION

You step from the terrace onto the sand. A short walk along, VERA NEO Beach Club has a beachfront restaurant and a fitness centre facing the Sea of Cortez, and guests of the house have access. Los Cabos airport (SJD) is about 20 minutes from San José del Cabo by the toll road. If you’re still choosing between the two ends of the Corridor, our guide to San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas compares them for a winter week.
